Nearly 75% of the hardcover books I order arrive with at least some damage to the cover. The worst was a Star Wars EotE book which had enough damage to the bottom of the spine that the cover actually tore (it was a gift so I didn't bother trying to have them return it). My 5e book thankfully had no major damage to it, the only thing is that the corners were very slightly smashed and the pages wavy (which I blame on the printing process). I've had the deflated plastic packaging cushion as well, which means that the thing popped by the time it arrived thus offering no protection at all.Amazon's packaging for books used to be a lot better in my experience. I remember often they would place books on top of a cardboard sheet and then shrink-wrap the book(s) in heavy plastic. The book(s) would not move at all in the box and I would get them in perfect shape. I don't know if my recent experiences have to do with ordering them with 2 day shipping. Maybe they just don't take the time to package them properly when they have to rush to get it shipped. I should order some hard cover books with the 7 day shipping and see how they arrive.</blockquote>
